Device configuration for IO-Link stack lights

The DV IO-Link stack lights can be configured via ifm’s moneo | configure software or acyclic IO-Link parameterization. moneo configure free allows for easy online and offline parameter setting for IO-Link devices. Each setup only requires a few clicks. 

Select the stack light you have based on the number of segments on your lamp and find in-depth instructions on configuration. You can start with the 1-segment stack light configuration information or review general signal lamp and tower light mounting options.

moneo | configure is a user-friendly software package that enables easy programming and visualization of all ifm IO-Link enabled sensors (V1.0 and V1.1) as well as other manufacturers' IO-Link enabled sensors (V1.1).  The software is downloaded here: moneo | configure.
